“Never, no, no, no. I think mom is gonna drive her tomorrow," he said. "Yeah no. She shouldn’t be behind the wheel of the car nevermind a school bus with the responsibility of having kids."

Derek Swenson, the superintendent, says that the bus driver will no longer be driving in the Bridgewater-Raynham Regional District, and the kids will have a new bus and new bus driver for school on Tuesday.

Swenson said in a statement that "the safety and wellbeing of our students is always our top priority," adding students' parents were immediately notified of the incident on Bus 42.

He called the incident "absolutely unacceptable," and said he is "confident in stating however, that the Raynham Police Department, Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School District and Lucini Bus Lines took swift and appropriate action in the handling of this incident."

Swenson ended his statement with an apology.

"We apologize to all the Bus 42 middle school students and parents/guardians who were negatively impacted by this incident. The Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School District will continue to work closely with safety officials and Lucini Bus Lines to prevent such situations from happening in the future."
